Midfield is the strongest area of the pitch for Real Madrid right now. They have two absolute legends of the game in Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. On top of that, they have the youth of Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga, both of whom are showing signs that they are future superstars. Fede Valverde is an excellent player as well and Dani Ceballos is a great option to have in the squad.
But that has not stopped Real Madrid from being linked with more midfielders, especially with Casemiro leaving for Manchester United in the summer.
One player that they have been linked with recently is Enzo Fernandez of Benfica, who arrived at the Portuguese club just this summer from River Plate but has already caught the eye with his performances.
Real Madrid do not seem to be the only club keeping tabs on his situation though. As reported by Sky Sports, Liverpool have kept a watching brief on Fernandez.
Liverpool are interested in another Real Madrid midfield target
Real Madrid and Liverpool appear to have had quite a few similar transfer targets in recent times, as both sides compete for the biggest honours in their respect domestic competitions and in Europe.
Tchouameni is someone that Liverpool were believed to hold an interest in before Real Madrid ended up signing him.
But of course, the big one is Jude Bellingham. The 19-year-old is one of the best players in the Bundesliga and the heart and soul of the current Borussia Dortmund team. He is a prodigy to put it mildly and it is expected to take a transfer fee of around €100 million to sign him.
Real Madrid are rumoured to have him as a priority target for them next summer but Liverpool are also expected to make a serious attempt to sign the Englishman.
